“Bazı hayvanları sevip onlara ailemizin birer üyesi gibi muamele ederken, onlara hissetme yetilerinden, duygusal kapasitelerinden, kendilerinin farkında olan birer kişi olduklarından asla şüphe duymazken, onlardan hiç de farklı olmayan başka hayvanların ölü bedenlerine çatal bıçaklarımızı saplamamıza neden olan ahlaki şizofrenimize son vermemiz gerekir!”
― Gary L. Francione, Eat Like You Care: An Examination of the Morality of Eating Animals

“Being vegan is easy. Are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat, wear, and use animal products? Of course there are. But in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic, and ableist society, there are social pressures to participate and engage in sexism, racism, homophobia, and ableism. At some point, you have to decide who you are and what matters morally to you. And once you decide that you regard victimizing vulnerable nonhumans is not morally acceptable, it is easy to go and stay vegan”
